Footwear and method of making thereof

摘要

Footwear includes an upper, a sole, and a thread. The upper has upper holes around the upper peripheral. The sole has a lip portion on the sole peripheral lip portion has sole holes around the sole peripheral. The thread attaches the upper and the sole through the upper holes and the sole holes, and forms a set of stitches. A ripple is formed between two sets of stitches and the thread is embedded in the lip portion between the ripples. Each stitch goes through a first upper hole and enters the sole hole of the lip portion, such that the thread forms an angled stitch on the lip portion. The thread then goes through a second upper hole and exits from a third upper hole, such that the thread forms a horizontal stitch on the inside of the footwear.

1. A method of making a footwear having improved abrasion resistance, the method comprising the steps of:
disposing an upper of the footwear in cooperative alignment with a sole of the footwear; stitching the upper to the sole with a thread, the upper having upper holes around an upper peripheral, the sole having a lip portion on a sole peripheral, wherein the lip portion has sole holes around the sole peripheral and the sole holes being half as numerous as the upper holes, the thread attaching the upper and the sole through the upper holes and the sole holes by a series of diagonal stitches disposed along the lip portion, wherein each diagonal stitch of the series of diagonal stitching is formed by the thread being passed into a first upper hole of the upper holes, out a second upper hole of the upper holes, over and diagonally across an outside of the lip portion and into a sole hole of the sole holes, wherein a ripple is formed between each pair of adjacent diagonal stitches; stitching at least one horizontal stitch on the inside portion of the footwear by threading the thread from the sole hole through a third upper hole and threading the thread through a fourth upper hole from the inside of the footwear; and pulling the stitches taut, wherein the diagonal stitches pull the upper holes and the sole holes out of alignment and the thread is disposed relatively below the ripple.
